Q. Consider the following statements:
1. Increase in volume of a soil sample without external constraints on submergence in water is termed as the 'free swell of soil.'
2. Clay soil rich in montmorillonite exhibits very low swelling characteristic.
3. Generally, free swell of soil sample ceases when its water content reaches the plastic limit.
Which of these statements are correct?

Q. Consider the following statements:
Lime stabilization of soil leads to
1. Decrease in shrinkage limit.
2. Increase in plastic limit.
3. Decrease in liquid limit.
4. Flocculation of clay particles
Which of the above statements are correct?

Q. Consider the following statements:
1. Illite the mineral largely responsible for the swelling and shrinkage behaviour of clayey soils.
2. A differential free swell value 55% indicates a soil with low degree of expansiveness.
3. Higher the plasticity index of a soil, greater its swelling potential.
4. A low shrinkage limit of a soil indicates possibility of swelling at low water content.

Which of the above statements are correct?

Q. Statement (I) : At shrinkage limit, the soil is fully saturated.

Statement (II) : Montmorillonite clay minerals are non-expansive.

Q. Consider the following statements:
1. Swelling is greater and shrinkage is less for clay compacted on the dry side of optimum.
2. Clays compacted on the dry side of optimum are characterized by larger strength.
3. An increase in organic content of clay soils causes an increase in optimum moisture content value.
Which of these statements are correct?
